Our Next Step Scholars initiative supports motivated students from under-resourced families in making the transition from public school to private high schools. By easing financial barriers, we open doors to smaller classes, enriched academics, and a supportive community. This program is designed for students entering private high school who demonstrate a positive attitude and a kind spirit. Our goal is to nurture curiosity, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

When we welcome a student into the Next Step Scholars program, we make a commitment to support them throughout their entire high school journey. Rather than providing a one-time scholarship, we pledge to stand beside each scholar for every remaining year needed to graduate, giving them the stability and confidence to focus on their education and future.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, we are already seeing this vision come to life. We launched the program by awarding our first Next Step Scholar scholarship for the 2025–2026 academic year. Building on that momentum, we are proud to have awarded three Next Step Scholar scholarships for the 2026–2027 academic year, with plans to continue expanding the program so even more deserving students can take their next step toward a brighter future.
